Tone It DownNot long ago I was driving to my local supermarket when I noticed a sequence of small billboards that encouraged people to moderate the force of their online disagreements. “Tone it down,” urged one message. “There is more that unites us than divides us,” observed another.

Christians are called to be different from the surrounding culture. Philippians 2:15 says we should “shine as lights in the world.” Romans 12:2 calls us to “not be conformed to this world.” To use Augustine’s imagery from The City of God, the heavenly city and the earthly city are in a state of antithesis.

When the Issue Isn’t the IssueRecently, I found myself in a disagreement. In my work context, I have been setting a new direction. I discovered that a colleague I respect was worried it was the wrong direction, so we sat down to talk about it. After forty-five minutes of amicable and professional discussion, it was clear we still took a different view. And then something interesting happened: my colleague trusted me by opening up about her early life as the child of alcoholic parents.
